Pair Antique French Old Paris Vases Hand Painted Gilt Roses

Antiques : Ceramics, Porcelain

 

Very decorative large mantel vases, tulip shaped with a burgundy face, a large oval cartouche with a generous gilt band encircling a rose bouquet, all hand painted! The elaborate formed sides comprise gilt vining leafs. The formed top is also generously rimmed with a gilt band.

Condition is good. Some flaws: losses to the gilt and the formed leafs on both. One of the vases has some discoloration on the formed leafs. This actually does come off. I removed a good bit of it and the gilt is fairly intact beneath.

Marks: as per usual, Old Paris pieces are frequently not marked. The Sevres porcelain works severely regulated and constrained other porcelain manufacturies in France during the 1800's. Ran the poor Hanong family out of France entirely. Smart porcelain makers did not draw Sevres fire. As to this pair, there is an incised numeral on bottom and three incised lines. Please see photos for the marks and the dimensions.
